Beginner Level
All art relates to colors and how they can work together to convey an artist’s vision. Without an understanding of how the colors of the color wheel work together an artist will have a serious gap in their knowledge. This course will close that gap and allow young artists to meet their full potential. This is a self-paced course meant to encourage the students use and understanding of color. This understanding will come from a combination of videos and assessments.
